Lenina Ungari

Amor shows, in a number of fragmentary scenes, painful but recognizable moments in an arbitrary day in the lives of a group of vulnerable teenage girls in the outskirts of a big city in the Netherlands.

She came from the Ukraine to the Netherlands for work, but was forced to prostitution. Now she has to choose: Help an innocent child and risk everything or live on as an illegal prostitute to help her own family.

The Spanish family Gabarre-Mendoza is celebrating a birthday, when it is interrupted by a police inspection. In ‘La Cañada Real’, a shanty town just outside Madrid, the inhabitants are forced to leave their illegal homes. Each member of the family struggles in their own way with their unstable position.
